Nullify vs. Void
To invalidate a legal act versus the state of being without force.
The comparisoni
“The contract is void once both parties breach it — the breach nullifies it.”
The ruleii
¶
NULLIFY = make invalid. VOID = already invalid.
To NULLIFY is the action — an authority deliberately cancels or invalidates. VOID is the state — the agreement has no legal effect. A void contract doesn't need to be nullified.
Memory aidiii
Remember it like this
Action: nullify. State: void.
